Transcode off not working until Serviio Restarted

Issue #583 resolved
Former user created an issue

If an h264 level 4 video which Serviio has cached as level 5.1 due to a 5.1 header value is played using Samsung C/D/E profile, it transcodes correctly and plays. If transcoding is then turned off and saved in the console, and the file is played again Serviio gets a 500 error and the TV says file format not supported. If Serviio is then restarted, the file will be played natively as it should.

Serviio should have played the file natively as soon as the transcoding was switched off.

The log sequence showing this is attached.

    I can confirm this on my Samsung UE40D6205. This issue is bilateral, if Serviio is started with transcoding off, and transcoding is switched on in Serviio Console, the file will give a 500 error. Switching transcoding back off allows the movie to be natively played again.

    Same file with transcoding default turned on reproduces the issue of jhb50.
